  • Swiping to the left or right from any open app brings up a different multitasking menu that only shows each app in nearly full-screen.
  • Swiping diagonally from the bottom-left corner brings up a virtual keyboard.
  • Swiping down inside the Web browser shows all open tabs in thumbnail view, so you can check on the progress of any loading pages.
Aww, you left out the most important one. Bezel to bezel swipe (top-bottom, bottom-top, left-right, right-left) wakes it up!
